ACKTUALLY they're on the verge of dropping i486 support. Fucking bullshit if you ask me. Now they expect us to upgrade our computers more often than once every 40 years? Homebrewers ARE JUST NOW figuring out how to diy i486 motherboard chipsets.
Next thing you know we'll need a 3090ti just to boot into Grub.
It also has anti requirements, like not having an nvidia graphics card
Those work pretty well these days
Forgot a requirement: must be willing to RTFM. Other than that, it's still way less requirements.
Ok, but I have to ask, are we raging against the machine that is the system we live in, or the tower on our desktop?
Full Linux system requirements:
I don't know what half those things are but I laughed at the words "Breast Mints". No idea what it means.
Like titty skittles but minty
Basically Fem&ms
It's like Antiboyotics.
Also anticistamines
How can you run Linux without electricity?
You could compile gentoo on a rock.
Potatoes.
Lots of potatoes.
You can run it on GLaDOS using only one potato!
That's actually the source of my joke haha.
A, e: very, large number of crabs
the computer isnβt in the electricityβ¦
Anyone have Linux recommendations for x86 machines?
EDIT: Desktop editions of Linux.
EDIT 2: 32 bit specifically. I thought x86 and 32 but we're the same thing, but I was wrong.
...all of them, i think
Not all of them. Arch stopped supporting x86, you need to get a forked branch of it that isn't officially supported. Ran into others that also didn't have x86 support anymore either. Initially thought Linux Mint was in the same boat, but I just found out that they have a Debian version that has a 32 bit version. All of the downloads for Ubuntu Desktop however are only showing 64 bit editions.
I guess I can narrow it down further. Editing my comment.
oh, you want a 32-bit version. should probably specify that. x86 is a big umbrella.
I thought x86 and 32 bit are the same thing
x86 starts with the 8086, which is 16 bit. AMD64, IA-64 and x86-64 are all both 64-bit and x86.
when referring to specifically 32-bit x86 it's common to use the terms i386 or IA-32, but i think just "32-bit x86" gets the point across more clearly. if you need more specificity, just mention which processor you have and people can figure it out from there.
Thanks for the insight!
I installed MX Linux on my 32bit system with low specs and it runs fine
I'll check this out and for my next laptop revitalization, I'll install it. Thank you!
